Chris Berman Chris Berman NFL Studio Host, SportsCenter Anchor, Baseball Commentator High Res Photos In October 1979 -- one month after its inception -- ESPN hired a little known 24-year-old sports anchor named Chris Berman. Over the past three decades, Berman has become one of America's most respected, popular, and in many ways, most beloved sportscasters of his era. With his trademark combination of genuine enthusiasm, knowledge and wit, he has come to embody ESPN in its dedication to entertaining and informing sports fans across the country. He is best known for his signature delivery of highlights of every sport, most notably on NFL Sundays. Six times the versatile Berman has been selected the National Sportscaster of the Year (1989, 1990, 1993, 1994, 1996 and 2001) by the members of the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. Berman, who in 1989 became the first cable sportscaster to win the award, ranks second among sportscasters in winning this award from the NSSA. Berman and his various shows have won 10 Emmy Awards and 12 CableACEs. Berman was named the 2001 winner of the prestigious Reds Bagnell Award from the Maxwell Football Club of Philadelphia for "contributions to the game of football." Previous recipients include Pete Rozelle, Don Shula, Joe Paterno, and Eddie Robinson, among others. In January 2009, Berman was honored with The Pat Summerall Award at the annual Legends for Charity dinner in recognition of his longtime excellence in football broadcasting. It's hard to imagine NFL Sundays before Berman. The 2009 season will be his 24th consecutive as studio host of Sunday NFL Countdown, having long surpassed Brent Musburger's 15-year record in 2001 as the longest running host of a weekly pro football studio show. The weekly Sunday morning pre-game show has won seven Sports Emmy awards for Outstanding Studio Show-- Weekly (1988, 1991, 1994, 1995, 2001, 2003 and 2007 seasons). It was nominated again in 2008, along with Monday Night Countdown, marking the first time both of ESPN's NFL studio shows hosted by Berman were nominated. Sunday NFL Countdown has also garnered five CableACEs (1989, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995). Berman-- a veteran of 27 Super Bowls, beghming with the 49ers' first NFL Championship in Super Bowl XVI-- has worked alongside Tom Jackson on Sunday NFL Countdown since 1987, when ESPN first acquired the rights to carry the NFL. This dynamic duo teamed together every Sunday night in the fall from 1987-2005 to host the critically-acclaimed NFL PrimeTime, annually cable television's highest-rated studio show. Since 2006, Berman and Jackson have continued to deliver all the NFL highlights to fans -- for a total of 23 years now- during both the 7 p.m. edition of the Sunday night SportsCenter (with John Saunders and Trent Dilfer) and on "The Blitz" on the 11 p.m. SportsCenter (as PrimeTime moved to Mondays). When Monday Night Football moved to ESPN in 2006, so did Berman's signature weekly halftime highlights trip through the NFL, 1'The Fastest Three Minutes in Television.
